About us

„For the things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them.“
Borrowing it’s motto from Aristotle, a litte workshop in Vienna’s 4th district created the first MATADOR wooden construction kits more than 110 years ago. The concept behind them was based on precision-drilled wooden blocks, connecting rods and wheels that could be put together to create a whole host of differente machines, vehicles, and so on, then taken apart again. And it’s a concept that remains unchanged today. Matador creates attractive, sustainable toys for our kids!

MATADOR Architect is a 100% natural product. It is made exclusively from untreated copper beech wood – without toxic varnish or other harmful materials. The building blocks were specifically developed for children 12 months and older. They can be connected and disassembled effortlessly. In this way, three-dimensional building becomes possible even for the youngest.

Maker +3

The Maker wooden construction sets by Matador promote motor and cognitive development of our young children aged 3 years and older. Thanks to the own Matador hammer, building blocks and pins are connected so that children playfully develop craftsmanship skills.
